Do you have a mentor or someone who has influenced your journey?

Writer's picture: Baxter HoltBaxter Holt

In December of 2020, the Big bash tournament was allowed to continue, although the clause was that all players and support staff were subjected into bubbles and separated from the general public. With only a few activities in which we could do, I found myself walking around a lake in Canberra listening to The High Performance Podcast. One day, I came across an episode featuring Steven Bartlett(episode link below). What a remarkable story it is; born in Botswana to a Nigerian mother and a British father, he founded 'Social Chain' at the age of 22, and in 2019, he took it public with a market valuation exceeding 200 million.


Now, you might be wondering why I'm sharing this with you. It leads me to;


My Book of the Week: 'The Diary of a CEO' by Steven Bartlett. This book not only explores his own experiences but also those of influential and successful individuals worldwide. Here are some key takeaways:

- "Learn by reading, understand by writing, master by teaching."

- "The person who learns the most in a classroom is the teacher."

- "Unchallenged beliefs are the greatest obstacle between who you are and who you could be."

- "To increase your success rate, embrace failure."


Tell me how someone has mentored/influenced you!
